Notes we keep next to the casino shortlist

The casino sign-up hour

We start a timer when the registration form opens. Extra screens, surprise document requests and marketing walls all add time. A clean hour is a mark in the casino's favour even if the slots catalogue is smaller.

Reading a casino bonus

If the wagering multiplier is only in a PDF, that is a mark down. Eligible slots, expiry, and max stake while the bonus is live should sit next to the headline.

Limits and pauses

Deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, time-outs, self-exclusion. If any of those take more than two taps from the casino account menu, we say so on the scorecard.

Live casino after dusk

We open the live lobby at night on a phone. Empty thumbnails and “coming soon” tiles do not count as a live casino.
